An unconfirmed rumor out of China this week claims Apple plans to debut new iPad Pro and iPad variants in October, both of which will move from single-lens rear cameras to multi-sensor arrays.

Citing a Chinese supply chain source, Mac Otakara<\/em> on Saturday reports Apple’s next-generation iPad Pro could adopt<\/a> a triple-lens camera array, while a 10.2-inch entry-level iPad might benefit from a dual-sensor solution similar to iPhone XS. <\/p>\n

Both models are rumored to launch in October, the person said. <\/p>\n

AppleInsider<\/em> was unable to confirm the veracity of Mac Otakara’s<\/em> claims. <\/p>\n

The Japanese publication has a decent track record in predicting Apple’s hardware moves, often gleaning information from third-party case makers made privy to leaked schematics in the months prior to a major product unveiling. <\/p>\n

As for the triple- and dual-lens iPads, Mac Otakara’s<\/em> source said diagrams of related accessories are currently “floating around.” Whether the devices in question are official Apple products or third-party add-ons is unknown. <\/p>\n

Adopting multi-sensor rear-facing cameras in two new iPads would be an unprecedented move for Apple, as the company has yet to migrate dual-lens shooters to its tablet line despite first integrating the technology in 2016’s iPhone 7 Plus. The setup, which incorporates a wide-angle and “telephoto” lens, was later used in 2017’s iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, and last year’s iPhone XS and XS Max. <\/p>\n

In February, noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted an iPad mini refresh and said he expected the existing 9.7-inch iPad, last updated in March 2018, to gain a 10.2-inch LCD screen<\/a>. Apple subsequently released a revamped iPad mini<\/a> in March alongside a new 10.5-inch iPad Air<\/a>, the latter of which effectively usurped the second-generation 10.5-inch iPad Pro<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Apple’s iPad Pro has not been updated since the line received a massive redesign<\/a> with a full-face display and Face ID in October 2018, while the most recent 9.7-inch iPad variant saw release in March 2018. Both models are due for a refresh. <\/p>\n

If today’s rumor is true, Apple’s iPad Pro and iPad lines will sport camera technology commensurate to that of their iPhone contemporaries for the first time. This year’s top-end iPhone, anticipated to launch in September, is widely rumored<\/a> to benefit from a triple-sensor camera design boasting a new super-wide angle lens.<\/p>\n
